Detailed Installation Instructions

Unfortunately, the installation instructions from AT&T are rather sparse and the tarball doesn't contains any instructions. Below is a summary of the installation procedure for installing GraphViz into a user's normal file space (in $\sim$/bin):

1. Download the gzipped tar of GraphViz from :

   http://www.bell-labs.com/cgi-user/wwexptools/gensnapshot/sparc-sun-solaris/graphviz.tar.gz [local copy here]

2. Make the installation directory, decompress and untar the GraphViz:

   	mkdir -p ~/bin/GraphViz/ ; 
   	gzip -dc ~/graphviz.tar.gz | tar xf - -C ~/bin/GraphViz/
   

3. Create a csh script to source on login (sets up paths etc): (assume csh or tcsh login shell)

   Copy/paste or enter the following into a file somewhere (e.g. $\sim$/bin/GraphViz.csh). Change the setting for setenv GraphViz if you are install to a directory other than $\sim$/bin/GraphViz.

   #!/bin/csh
   setenv GraphViz ~/bin/GraphViz
   
   setenv PATH ${PATH}:${GraphViz}/bin
   
   if ($?LD_LIBRARY_PATH) then
       setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${GraphViz}/lib/graphviz/lib/graphviz:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
   else
       setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${GraphViz}/lib/graphviz/lib/graphviz
   endif
   
   if ($?MANPATH) then
       setenv MANPATH ${MANPATH}:${GraphViz}/man:$GraphViz/lib/graphviz/man/
   else
       setenv MANPATH ${GraphViz}/man:${GraphViz}/lib/graphviz/man/
   endif
   
   setenv LEFTYPATH ${GraphViz}/lib/graphviz/share/graphviz/lefty/
   

4. Add the following to $\sim$/.cshrc:

   Add a call to the script that sets the paths. E.g. add the following to .cshrc or .login:

   source ~/bin/GraphViz.csh
